Warren Buffett became the most renowned investor globally due to his shrewd investment sagacity leading Berkshire Hathaway. This was not his sole task: he is also the firm’s premier presenter.
Consider the company’s annual meeting—the very venue where you need financial counsel and the chance to network with major business players. It is also a veritable shopping spree.
“Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains” has become synonymous with the gathering itself—a Buffett-style emporium showcasing wares from the conglomerate’s various holdings. And numerous products exist under the company’s umbrella: according to the firm, that is at least enough to fill 20,000 square feet with 50,000 items for shareholders in 2025.
The Nebraska billionaire also enjoys posing with mascots and items under Berkshire’s vast umbrella—with smiling likenesses of Buffett and his late right-hand, Charlie Munger, upon various peculiar goods sold at the bazaar.
Considering that Buffett is set to step down as CEO by the close of 2025, let’s look back at his tenure as the company’s chief mascot.
